    You'll have to do what I learned from my wife, buy it, bring it in the house and put it the clutter in the basement for awhile, then when I see it and ask her where that came from she says, oh that, I've had that for awhile you just never noticed it.:D

    she actually didnt give me too much grief... only comment was.. must be nice to have luxury stuff.. :lol2:

    :thumbsup:Nice, I do like the look of those S&Ws. I need to get a 1911, my CZ disease has prevented me from acquiring one. I feel guilty now, I have a HK USP, G36, CZ-97b but no 1911. I think I have narrowed it down to a Gold Cup NM or a Dan Wesson PM7.

    :party29: both of those are nice!!

    speaking of which.. what are the difference?!? i've search online for mags and they have goverment, commander, officer and full size.. :o

    Mine is a Commander size. Its a full sized frame and a shorter barrel/slide. 4.25 inches instead of the full 5 inches. Mags are the same for mine as they are for the full size. The Officer's Model is a compact model with a shorter grip and barrel.

    Commander - full-sized grip, 4.25" barrel
    Officer - shortened grip, 3.5" barrel

    What he said. :thumbsup:

    You can even pinpoint that a little further if you are talking about Colts. The Colt Commander has a lightweight alloy slide. The Combat Commander has a steel slide.
